It was stated that It is confidently expected that tho now Czar would grant amnesty to all persons lately transported to Siberia, and that ho would concede some form of constitutional government to Die people of Russia.

Notwith standing ids many errors, Ids foreign policy Is not forgotten. Alexander was tho sincere friend of Franco, and tier defender ogninst Bismarck. Although tho dispatch from Gen. Clinnzy, Minister of Franco atSt. Petersburg, received by tho Minister of Foreign Aitairs ate o’clock last evening, spoke of the Em peror being badly wounded, It was not until an hour later that tho news of his death reached Gon. St, Hilaire, lie immediately sent for the Russian Ambassador, Prince Or loft, and communicated to him tho sad tid ings. At half-post 8 the news began to spread over tho boulevards, it was received at first with Incredulity, and was REGARDED AS A CANARD, started by tho bears for Bourse operations. So strong was tills conviction that even Lc Sotr , published late last evening, did not contain a word about tho horrible event Thus far tho dispatches speak of only four officers and men being killed and twenty wounded. Thu Injuries sustained by tho Emperor wore, ns stated In tho dispatch re ceived last evening, confined almost entirely to tho legs and lower part of the body. Tho French press, with the exception of n few Intransigent)! organs, nro unanimous In the reprobation of such a stupid mid atrocious crime, which cannot affect in the slightest degree tho Imperial power of Russia, wlitlo it threatens to work lasting harm to the cause of Liberal progress.

IN AMERICA, CONVERSATION IN NEW YORK. Sptcldl Dltpauh to Tht C'Meupo Tribunf. New York, March 14.—Tho assasiimllon of tho Czar Is the theme of conversation on every hand, and tho general expressions of tho better classes are strongly condemnatory of tlio terrible net. Scattered through this city are many refugees from Russian- Poland and other provinces of tlio Mus covite Kmplrc. Some of them have been active members of tho Nihilist organization, and all of them hnvosulfcrcd from the strong arm of the Czar’s Government. The extreme harshness of tho measures adopted towards Poland would lead one to suppose that the most embittered feelings against Rus sia would be • found among them. But tho most rabid Nihilists arc of Russian birth and of noble extraction. A meeting of these exiles was spoken of to-day as an event which would take place at a very early date, and which would afford them an opportunity to testify In the strongest terms TUKIU SYMPATHY WITH TIIEIK HUETIUtEN IN RUSSIA. There is great excitement in certain quarters in tho cast side of town, where these exiles mostly abound, atjd the ossnsination was to day tho only subject of discussion. No formal call for a meeting Ims been Issued, but some action will undoubtedly be taken by tho Russian exiles in this city, probably in connection with the refugees of tho Paris Commune. Among tho Russian exiles arc representatives of every class of society.—from tho nobleman to tho moujik. They appear to entertain tile idea that tho deatli of tho Cznr will inspire his suc cessor with a wholesome dread of “ the avengers of oppression,” as they designate tho Nihilists’ conspiracies. Among tno Com munists of tho city are the May brothel's, of Second avenue, who were exiled from Paris after the triumph of Thiers. One of the brothers said this afternoon that there was to be a meeting of the members of tho Paris Communo residing In this city to” take ac tion on THE GLORIOUS NEWS F«OM RUSSIA.” The assasinatlon, he thought, would do a great deal of good for Russia and increase oppression in Germany. “ Tho new Czar and his Ministers'would bo frightened Into a humane and liberal policy, and likely one of the Urstactsof his reign would bo to pro claim a general amnesty and throw open tho prison doors of Siberia.” Mr. May was thou nsked: “Is It true that Paris is the parent of all tbeso International Societies?” “Undoubtedly. I have known Russian nobles to come to tho world’s metropolis and set themselves to tho task of learning some trade. One would work as a machinist, another ns n builder, and n third as n shoemaker. Russian ladles of rank and wealth would leant 1 to bo milliners and dressmakers. It may ap pear incredible, but it is no less true. 1 have met them In their work-dresses looking Just like any other artisans, and on fOte nights 1 have seen tho same In gorgeous uniform or toilet Among the workmen they imbibed SENTIMENTS OF FREEDOM AND EQUALITY. They spread everywhere when they re turned home. Mark my words: Russia will be content with nothing less titan a consti tutional monarch.” “And Germany?” “Her time will come next. Bismarck Is not Invulnerable, and the friends of liberty are Irrepressible.” “Have you over been engaged in consplr- Ides of this kind?” “Yes. InlSfiS I Joined a conspiracy against tho Emperor Napoleon. A miscalculation of a fraction of a minute on our part saved him. There were over two hundred of us In tho boulevard through which his carriage passed, and each of us was armed, lie > was nearer death for some moments than at any other period of his life. Yet the police knew nothing about it until after the fall of tbo Empire. You cannot extirpate those societies. Tho members are prepared to meet death In carrying out their designs, and in Russia tho execution of a number of Nihilists does not interfere in the slightest dogreo with Uio fulfillment of their mission by brethren who step into their places. There will be the sword of Justice constantly suspended over tho tyrant’s head until tho people got their rights.” JUSTUS 11. SCHWA!], who Is the most blatant of the Red Socialists of Now York, and whom 1 reported last night ns glorifying the net of the ussnslns, was busy to-d(iy decorating Ids beer-saloon In honor of Uio awful alfalr. Hu was nail ing up flags, and when ho hud finished he called his 0-yearold son from Uio crowd, and said in German: “Give three cheers of joy fur the Czar’s death.” Tho child piped his throe cheers, while the bystanders laughed. Schwab said: “Now you cun remember all your life Uiut you ap plauded when a big nail was driven Into tyranny’s coflhi. Schwab says he was warned this morning not to give away the names of Nihilists in this country, and that TIIKV EXPECTED HUSSIAN SPIES would bo sent to this country within a month, Ho says there will be a meeting "to sympathize with tho Rus sian Nihilists and rejoice In the death of theCzor” Tucsdaynlght at Steuben Hull, No. 205 Bowery, and that, to use his own words, 41 Wo have already cabled our congratulations to our brethren at St. Petersburg, and to-morrow night we shall have free beer. How duro that man Blaine speak of tho sympathy of tho people of America? It Is die beginning of a new era for Husain, Absolutism came to nu end yesterday. It Is Impossible to stop It, although they thought they had done so when they took my friend Orsinl’s head oIT. it Is the logical sequence of cir cumstances In which tho fundamental idea Is the overthrow of autocracy and Its replace ment by moral responsibility on the part of the functionary who conducts the alfalrs of the nation. )VK WEHK ALL GLAD TO HEAIt THE NEWS last night, but had some fear that it was too good to bo true. Tho liberation of the serf Is nothing new In history. We have not tho Czar to thank fur that. These Iron handed heads of governments scorn to for get that we hate a religion, and that they cannot crush us. Wo aro all willing to die In tho good* cause. They can’t sneer any moro about Nihilists not keeping their word.” Mr. Schwab then drew attention to what he facetiously terms his •• Rogues' Gallery," which contains the portraits of oil the Kura- pcan monarchs and the leaders of the foreign Governments. Ono of these represented three plates on stable, tbo ccn treonoof which was empty. ‘‘That plate will bo filled to-morrow by Alexander U.’s head. That fellow to his left is Gmnbctta, and the one on his right tbo despot Ills marck. We always keep a few empty dishes for THESE ROYAL BIRDS, and ns each takes his turn bo will occupy the centre position,” said Uio owner of the gal lery, with much gusto. The blatant beer vender was very loud In his denunciation of tyrants, and remarked, as tie measured out schooners and expatiated in bis own peculiar way on *‘ the glory of the nineteenth century consummated nt St Petersburg,” Further on be remarked: “The Kmimror William and Rlsmnrck had better prepare for trouble. Russia, which lias supported them in tho past, will give them no help In tho future. In 1818-MU Russia contributed an army of ou,ooo men to assist Austria In sup pressing tho Hungarian revolution, and ever since Russia has championed every anti- Socialistic movement made In Europe. Rut Russia, tho bulwark of absolutism, was stricken yesterday. 1 would not like to bo In William’s or Bismarck’s boots now. And In America the fate that has overtaken Alex ander has a point.

But tlio heads of American monopolies have cause to trem ble. They are oppressing the poor people of the land, and for Just such oppression Alex ander was killed.” “ And you decline to name these monopo lists who are thus inviting death ?” “ Well. 1 am willing to mention Jay Gould mid W, JI. Vanderbilt as representatives of the class to which I refer.” “ Do you mean to aver that there Is really danger in their being served as was tho Czar ?” "Tho ‘mono, niche, tokel upharsln’ Is written. It Is plain to tho eyes of all men. The American monopolists.

The Ilcrahl presents'a remarkable inter view with a party in tills city, who, It says, “Is quite more familiar than any man living witli the deep-laid schonjes.of tho Nihilists to overttirow the Government of Russia and tho preliminary plotitings for tho accomplishment of ttiis end against the Czar.” This person it designates ns one John Baker, the Nihilist correspondent of a Npw England paper. Baker said to-day. in .reply to a question: “About three weeks ago three agents of tho Supremo Secret Revolutionary Gov ernment, the chiefs of which (I mean the revolutionary Government) hold doctrines entirely ■ different from tho oxtrumo Radicals sent, by Um ‘under ground railway,’ which is peculiar to Russia at tho present time, a request foriui audience wltii the Czar, promising Ids personal safety, and asking in return their own safe ty.

A mass-meeting ot Socialists was hold yes terday evening hi the Twelfth Street Turner Hall for the purpose of dolmr honor to Mr. F. W. Frltsche. a Socialistic member of the German Reichstag, who has been sent to America by the Socialist-Democratic party of Germany to secure tho sympathy of Amer ican Socialists and material aid for the cause oftbclr transatlantic brethren. The meet ing, which numbered about ‘J.OOOpersous,was called to order by Mr. G. Bartels, after which. Dr. Ernst Schmidt was elected Chairman. In taking the chair Dr. Schmidt salt! that the present was at once an extraordinary and Joyful occasion. They had Uic pleasure of welcoming one of the warmest and best agi tators of the cause of Socialism In Germany, who had crossed tho ocean to secure in America sympathy and help for tho party In Germany. He could not close his remarks without a reference to THE CHEAT NEWS PflOM IIUSSIA that had been telegraphed alt over tho world tho day before. One of the worst despots the world ever knew had died under circum stances of a most horrible description. He(the speaker) was a man of pity, and if ho should see a fellow-being suffering such a fearful death, he could not fall to be moved to tho innermost depths of his heart; but ho felt very differently when he overlooked the man and looked only at tho tyrant who imd fur a quarter of a century dictated the death or banishment to tho mines of Siberia of over 200,000 persons, who were burled there with, no view of daylight tho year round ex cept on two holidays,—tho duv which com memorated the birth of the Lord, and the birthday of tho Emperor who had sent them Into exile. (Cries of shame.] Looking at such a tyrant,—the one who hud ordered the shooting down of the Poles and committed numerous other atrocities—ho could not agree with those whose soft hearts made them think that tho murder of the Emperor was the worst crime that could be perpetrat ed.- Tho fact was that tho Emperor had only sulToi'ud A DEATH WHICH HE IUCHI.V DKSEIIVED. (Loud applause.] The speaker then gave a r6sum£ of all the persecutions which tho friends of liberty had suffered in Europe, dwelling with especial warmth upon the rev olution of itBS-’O, tho shooting of Robert Ilium at Vienna, and upon the shortcomings of the Emperor of Germany. In thinking of all this and remembering that tic him taken part In many of the movements fur tho improvement of his fellow-countrymen’s condition, his sympathies could not bo with tho murdered man. hut rather with the great men who were seeking liberty, and to gain It would throw asldo all personal considera tions. Under Uieso circumstances the word assasination Imd no horror for him, —that desperate means being the only way left of getting rid of tyrants. Mr. Frltsche was then introduced to tho meeting, who received him with a loud and lasting round of applause. The famous agi tator is a man of about HU years of age. of a tall and commanding ligure, witli a hand some. classical head, set off with a snowy beard and mustache, and long, llowlng. Iron gray hair. In his opening remarks he asked Ids audience not to be disappointed If lie did nut address them in as outspoken a manner us they might wish. He was going to return to Germany, and, AS TUEASONADLK UTTKItANCES, even when made in another counto’, were punishable there witli very severe penalties, lie would treat ids subject in a quiet ami plain manner. Hu would speak n few words descriptive of tho doings of the Socialistic party in Germany, for which purpose they had sent him to America. It had been tho intention of Tim party to send Mr. Llep knecht to America, but as he had been sunt to prison fur a term which only expired In the month of May next, It was impossible for him to come, and tho speaker hud been sent In his place. Mr. Frltsche then de scribed tbo objects of the Socialistic party in Germany. They were seeking political lib erty, and they thought that the beat way to secure it was by fostering the social im provement of tho working' classes and their emancipation from tho power of Capital. To secure this object the party asked for the separation of Church and State, tho emancipation of the schools from nil clerical influence, tho abolition of Uio stand ing army, and tho institution of a system of militia as is In vogue in Switzerland. These and other demands of like nature, similar to those that were made by the revolutionary party of 1848-MO, were stumped ns crimes by Um Government of Germany, which was SKCKtNO TO CUL’SU THU SOCIALISTS, and had framed the so-called Socialist law as a means of accomplishing this cud,—a law which prevented freedom of speech and of thu press, and sought In many ways to de* pilve Gormans of Uidr rights. Notwlth standing these persecutions, tlm .Socialistic party lu Germany would nut lose courage, hut would go on with Uie good work, until Uiuy accomplished tho salvation of Uio working classes of Germany, who now, by reason of this systematic tyranny were In a very do* pressed condition, and earning such poor wages Umt they could not do much to help the cause. It was for this reason that ho had been sent to Amuriea lu order that ho might secure material aid from tbo sympathizers of tho movement. In conclusion, he thanked them for their attention and also for Uio do* nation which they would make on behalf of Uiolr sulTetlng fellow-countrymen. A subscription was taken up at tho conclu* slim of Mr. rntscho’s address, which netted thu sum of $125. .Speeches were also made by Mr. Grottkau, editor of thu Arbeitcr-ZcUnn {/, and Mr. Par sons, after which a set of resolutions weru passed calling attention to the despotic and tyrannous nature of Uio Government In Ger many and Inviting thu American people to morally and materially aid them In their struggle against tyrannous power. ouorncAr, when questioned by a reporter, said: " I cannot believe that Gto assashmlkm was by tho Nihilists, howovur much it may have been devoutly wished lor by them, but by the instigation of Ids successor, it is mi event Unit will ho hulled with rejoicing tho world over. Tho elfcct will probably be to bring mure liberal measures and reform for a short time, but only for » short time, when there will ho a relapse into thu oppression of the past. This is burnu out by the course of Uio dead Czur himself, who at ilrsl did sonn tiling for Uio icllef of the people, put then bore upon them, and his successor will go over tho same ground. Outside of this the effect will bo lu so alarm the European Powers that they will bear more heavily upon us than before to Intimidate us. The sentiment of the people at the death will be of rejoicing. l ' Ai.n. RTAuimn said of thoassaslnailnn ** It Is a tiling that will bo pleasing to the people, although It may not make much change for them. The Socialists and the Midlists arc two different bodies, ami are not always together In sympathy or belief, but are In this. The successor or the Czar will not probably lighten the oppression.” PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS UPON THE UVKS op ituucns.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. IRISH. NO GAO WANTED. London, March 14.—1 n the Commons Mr. Olntlslone moved a resolution of urgency for supply. Thu motion was lost, not obtain ing tho necessary JJ to I majority. Two hun dred and ninety-six members voted for and 212 against. Mr. Gladstone announced that he acquiesced In the vote, and appealed to tho members to niti the Government In supply. The Government reserved the liberty to pro pose hereafter any action that might be nec essary. The House then went Into Commit tee on Supply. NO REPRESENTATIONS have been made by the United States relative to Boyton’s arrest. TUB TORIES AND THE GAO. .Sir Stafford Northcote to-day Issued an Important manifesto to his constituents, In which he declares that Mr. Gladstone’s pro posal to auply tho cloture rule In connection with the note on the supply question tends to subvert the liberties uf the members of the House of Commons In relation to con trolling the estimates. Sir Stafford empha sizes the point that the House originally gained its influence and power on this very point,—that monarchs should not use money except by consent of the House,—and in any way to decrease Its authority in this respect will constitute an embarrassing if not a dan gerous precedent. Tho money estimates are of vital Importance, and, hi Sir Stafford’s opinion, the welfare of the realm demands that the utmost freedom of debate should always be bad upon them. A collision upon this issue Is antlcluated between tho Conservatives and Liberals, mid upon the conduct of public business. POSTPONED. In committee, the salaries for tho expenses of Forster wore voted, but the rest of the Irish votes were postponed. BRITISH. UUADLAUGH TO DESIGN.
